Volunteer Roles

Data Entry Specialist - Defensive Stories :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for volunteers to identify and post defensive stories to our website! Keeping our members informed of current 2A events is critical and what better way than to show how firearms are used to save lives in America each and every day. We try to rotate volunteers to one week a month updating these stories, preferably posting one per day, so the demand is not too much. We do provide training on the website access and formatting. Please reach out to Director Stephen LaSpina at slaspins@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Volunteers Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to coordinate all of the other volunteers in the organization. Attaining a list of who would like to participate in events in their regions or who would be willing to fill the volunteer roles we post on the volunteers page. Someone willing to provide support to the Board and Officers and update the volunteer oles available on our website. Please reach out to President Jim Stoker at jstoker@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Gun Bash Volunteer :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are always looking for volunteers to work the two gun bashes we host in Washington County every spring and fall. We have volunteers who help run tickets, check in guests, manage raffle signup sheets, hand out cookies, work a beer trailer, maintain line security at the winnings tables, setup the day before and break down the day of the bashes... Even selling tickets on the floor or at the tables. Anyone interested in volunteering a day or two each spring and fall, please reach out to Director Lizzie Jackovich at Ljackovich@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Sportsmen's Clubs Liaison :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to reach out to sportsmen's clubs all across Pennsylvania and maintain a contact database for the clubs. We want to offer training and assistance to sportsmen's clubs across the state and need someone to be the key facilitator to those conversations, reaching out to clubs and discussing our cause and their needs. Please reach out to Secretary/Direactor Lisha Tichenor at Ltichenor@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Merchandise Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to manage the merchandise that gets mailed out to new members. We've been struggling to provide keychains, patches and hats to members as they sign into the organization and this could have a direct impact on whether a member renews and stays in the fight. Merchandise is provided to you to manage, and postage is paid by the organization, of course. The volunteer has to be willing to receive new memberships reports, package and ship out the merchandise according to their membership buyin. This is a critical and often unrecognized job that we really need someone to manage for the organization! Please reach out to President Jim Stoker at jstoker@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Data Entry Specialist - Legislator Updates :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to update legislator information on the website. When legislators change, the information on the website needs to be edited manually to keep district information up to date. This includes which members are seated on which committees. This position is busiest immediately after an election, with significant downtime between. However, random changes do occur occasionally, and this information is critical to members being able to find and contact their legislators! Please reach out to President Jim Stoker at jstoker@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Industry Partners Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to maintain communication with our new industry partners program. We created a program to include clubs, licensed firearms dealers, accessory manufacturers, and firearms manufacturers to attain their support and expand our offerings to the industry we fight so hard to protect. We need someone able to maintain that list and occasionally reach out to points of contact at each location to spur membership renewals, and liaison events at those locations if the partner desires. Please reach out to President Jim Stoker at jstoker@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Event Contacts Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to help maintain training logs and contacts from our events we do across the Commonwealth.

Data Entry Specialist - Website News :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for volunteers to identify and post relevant 2nd Amendment news to our website! Finding interesting articles or pertinent legal updates for our members is a key role in keeping our membership informed. We usually try to rotate volunteers to one week a month when possible, so all we ask is a news article a day or some similar schedule to keep things moving. We train on the website access and how to post materials. Please reach out to Director Stephen LaSpina at slaspina@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Membership Outreach Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to reach out to our members at random intervals to see what THEIR needs and expectations are for our organization. We would provide access to a members database and contact numbers or emails, and ask the Coordinator to make calls or send emails checking in on our members, showing the organization wants their feedback on what we could be doing better in their eyes. Anyone interested in filling this position, please reach out to Vice-President Klint Macro at kmacro@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Millenial Outreach Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to work specifically with the millenial generation, trying to find a ways to get the 30 to 45 year olds of our time engaged in the fight! We need ideas and new concepts to bring an entire generation closer to the cause and show them the value of engaging with government and their Constitutional rights. Please reach out to Vice-President Klint Macro at kmacro@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Youth Outreach Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for a volunteer to engage the under 21 crowd in our efforts. THe youth ARE the future, and we need to ensure the future of our cause and the liberties we fight for by mentoring and educating the youth of Pennsylvania on what is at stake in this fight. Youth oriented events, ideas, and engagement is what we need to do, and we need a fresh mind with new approaches leading the way for us. Volunteer must be willing to work with the Board, Officers and perhaps Committees to make this happen. We have some contacts, but an outreach coordinator who can dedicate some time and effort into this would be a big boost for FOAC. Please reach out to Vice-President Klint Macro at kmacro@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

County Delegates :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! There are 67 counties in Pennsylvania, and we need to be present in each and every one of them. We need volunteers willing to grow relationships with county leadership in their home counties and keep the organization in tune with what is happening in their regions. Perhaps some ideas for how to expand out influence in their county, or outreach events we can host to grow membership. When grass-roots efforts are needed, we need someone who knows the area and the political climate to make the difference for us in that region. And if organization officers are going to help with the fight, someone intimately familiar with the landscape both topographically and politically to guide us in the efforts if needed. Are you wiling to be the go-to for FOAC in your county? Please reach out to President Jim Stoker at jstoker@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Social Media Coordinator :: 06/08/2025

FOAC Institute needs volunteers! We are currently looking for volunteers to maintain social media accounts for the organization and share pertinent updates, 2A news, and relevant messages to our social media platforms.

Please reach out to Director Stephen LaSpina at slaspina@foac-illea.org to volunteer!

Membership Recruiters :: 06/08/2025

Please reach out to Director Lizzie Jackovich Ljackovich@foac-illea.org to volunteer!
